Demanding business with culture suiting senior managers
Pros
- Work from anywhere - This agency is a good proving ground to manage clients and keep up with the intensity. Having worked in multinationals, good new starters develop much faster in an environment like this. - There are many examples of meritocratic progression at Rostrum. - If you need help or want to raise something, HR is approachable.
Cons
- Vertical structure perpetuates this feeling of much greater distance to the top than actually is, and not all managers would want to change this... - Staff turnover was over 50% in my year-long spell. - Sometimes if a client isn't satisfied, accounts are seized on by management, and heavily involved junior team members cannot support. - Leadership doesn't project a shared mission or goal, leaving individual progression to be the focus for most people, which creates awkwardness.
